In keeping with CAConrad's eco-deviant poetry, generate a (poetic) list of instructions to generate ideas/inspiration for a poem. Post the instructions to the blog, and bring the poem you write that was inspired by your instructions with you to class.
(Your second assignment is to write a sonnet, so bring that with you to class as well).
How to Write Eco-Deviant Poetry:
ReplyDelete1- Find inspiration (i.e. something that gets you fired up)
2- Write about your inspiration in the form of a letter to someone:
- In the letter, try to show what you're trying to say rather
than simply blurting it out
3- Write about your inspiration in the form of a sonnet:
- 14 lines
- iambic pentameter (10 syllables per line)
- choose Petrachan form or Shakespearean form
- Petrachan:
A-B-B-A
A-B-B-A
C-D-E
C-D-E
-Shakespearean:
A-B-A-B
C-D-C-D
E-F-E-F
G-G
*NOTE: you can pick and choose elements of a sonnet to
use as long as it fits with your poem*
4- Incorporate your sonnet into your letter so that it flows nicely
5- Enjoy your creative work of art
Instructions to write an Eco-Deviant poem
ReplyDelete1. Think of something that provokes in emotion in you, whether it be happiness, sadness, angriness, anything that provokes a strong emotion. It can be a person, an object, a place, a time of day, an animal.
2. If it is a place, go see it so it is fresher in your mind. If it is a person, call him/her, FaceTime them or visit them.
3. Find words that convoy feelings, such as "pretty" words to describe something you think is beautiful, or serene words that make you feel calm if you're writing about something calm like ocean waves.
4. This poem is yours, so feel free to make it as long or as short as you'd like. Set it up with stanzas all aligned to the left, or make it on huge paragraph or just lines are aligned differently. Anything you want but try to make it fit your poem.
Instructions to writing an Eco-Deviant poem
ReplyDelete1. Remember a past experience that made you feel a powerful emotion. If someone else was involved in this experience, then get together with them and have them retell the story so that it can bring all of your emotions flooding back to you. If you have no interesting stories, then put yourself into a situation that is bound to make you feel a powerful emotion.
2. Jot down everything you are/were doing as a response to this emotion. If you are/were feeling embarrassed for example, write down if you are/were cringing, shaking, or sweating.
3. Also write down other feelings you had. Were you sad and angry at the same time? Were you happy and disgusted? Write down as many feelings as you can.
4. Write your poem
5. It is your poem so follow whatever guidelines that deem to be important to the content of the poem.
Here is what I did for this poem:
1. I intentionally went out to dinner with my embarrassing friend hoping that he would put me through an awkward encounter. And he did. He started arguing/ yelling with the waitress over some stupid amount of money, I think it was like 90 cents. She got really annoyed and everyone was staring at us and I just felt extreme second hand embarrassment.
2. When I got home I wrote down everything that I did. I cringed, I hated myself, I hated him, I was eager to leave, etc.
3. I wrote down other feelings I had. For instance I wrote down that I was grateful to be me, and not him.
For this Eco_Deviant poem, I suggest taking a two day trip:
ReplyDeleteStep 1.
Day 1: Go explore Los Angeles. Go to the rich, mainstream areas such as Beverly Hills, Venice, Bel-Air, or Hollywood. Now go to the poorer, not-so-safe places like Compton, Lincoln Heights, Crenshaw, or East Los Angeles.
Day 2: Go hike to the "outdoorsy" nature attractions such as Griffin Park, the Hollywood sign, or even the beach. Then go to the "fun, adventure" attractions like Disneyland, Universal Studios, or Knott's Berry Farm.
Step 2:
Write notes down from what you've seen. The emotion, the scenery, anything, everything, and nothing. Then write a poem.
Instructions to writing an eco-deviant poem:
ReplyDelete1. Think of something that gets you out of your comfort zone, something that would give you a story to tell.
2. Go do something exciting that people do not see every day. It doesn’t have to be extravagant just something.
3. Do that something exciting with close friends to bond more and have a memory together.
4. Be confident in knowing that you will be fine if people criticize, just know your friends are there with you and you are not alone.
5. Know that you might just make someone’s day giving them something unexpected
6. Write about the experience, how you felt, and any moments that stuck to you.
What I did/experience:
1. Got a penguin onesie from my friend and wore it.
2. Went to Wal Mart
3. Walked around and acted casually in Wal Mart with my friends who were also in onesies(as Totoro, Eeyore, and a bunny)
4. Felt people stare and just worked with it
5. Realized this is what celebrities probably felt like walking around and standing out.
6. The security guard told us he really wanted a fox onesie.
7. Got compliments and made people smile.
8. Got what we needed from wal mart and a unique memory with each other.
9. Reflected on the experience and wrote about it.
-James Dy
Writing an Eco-Deviant Poem
ReplyDelete1. Take a day trip to Disneyland, sit on a bench on Main Street and observe the scenery that surrounds you.
2. Pay specific attention to the ecological detail around the park (i.e. the bushes, flowers, plants and trees, little body of water that surrounds Sleeping Beauty’s castle, and the structure of the park/street itself).
3. Stoll solely along Main Street, observing the entrances of the different lands while standing on Main Street, but not actually entering them.
4. Observe the hoards of people that surround you, whom are busily rushing to other parts of the park, paying little-to-no attention to their serene ecological surroundings.
5. Contemplate the emotions that are evoked when simply sitting/walking around Main Street.
6. Write down the sights in particular that impact you the most.
7. Now go enjoy the park!
How to Write Eco-Deviant Poetry:
ReplyDelete1. Capture a moment through your memories, either if it happened already or you're waiting for something to happen; that's a spark of inspiration.
2. Describe the moment, the person, the something you feel inspired by; then write it down. Think about how that something made you feel, or how it felt through touch, how it smelt, what it reminds you of now.
3. Respond to how those feelings that the something made you feel, for example, what kind of person were you then and now? or what were you doing at that time?
4. It's your poem. You are your own writer, so write it however you feel that makes sense to you. You should probably exclude the sonnet because sonnets have rules that you should follow.
Do something you have ever really had to do before and write down the feelings associated with it. Once you get home write Eco-Deviant poem composed of the feelings and things you saw from the notes.

2. When staying indoors becomes unbearable or you feel a sufficient amount of time has passed, walk outside.
3. Observe your surroundings. Make a note of your immediate feelings once outside.

5. Stay by this object/thing/person that caught your attention for a few minutes. Think of why it caught your attention.
6. Now imagine that your time indoors was not a morning and an afternoon but a year. Do your feelings about the object/thing/person change drastically when imagining this? Write a poem about what it was like to be deprived of the outside world.

5. Do not over stress about it or think to much of it. Just let it flow and begin writing.
Instructions for an Eco-Deviant Poem:
ReplyDelete1. To generate a compelling experience place yourself, the writer, in a situation where you are least familiar. For example, maybe you're not a fan of big cities so let's assume you took a trip to Los Angeles.
2. Find what makes you least comfortable and confront it. Take notes on your feelings or subsequent reaction.
3. Jaywalk,talk to a stranger, park under the No Parking sign, honk at the many pedestrians;do not be bound by unfamiliar boundaries.
4. Find the commonalities between the robust city and your perhaps tiny town. From the common whistles to the innate smell of your order of fries there is much to compare.
5. Remember the experience is defined by the person and it's the writer's duty to translate the outcome to the reader. Now you write.
Instructions on writing an Eco-Deviant Poem:

3. Brain Storm to help write down ideas.

Use different techniques and strategies that best go with your poem such as: defamiliarization, personification, imagery etc. Just try not to think too hard and just write what you feel. It helps to write down certain feelings or thought about how you feel in that moment. Remember BE DESCRIPTIVE!

1. Spend some time at Fashion Island in Newport Beach.
ReplyDelete2. Sitting in that particular Starbucks, eavesdrop on peoples’ conversations next to you.
3. At the worst time, lean over, and tell them “I don’t think you understand the importance of this moment.”
4. Continue sipping your coffee while jotting down their reactions.
5. Write a poem on this experience, and reactions you encountered
Instructions on writing an Eco-Deviant Poem:
ReplyDelete1. Brainstorm and recollect. Free your mind space and sit somewhere that relaxes you, whether it be in a quiet bookstore or while driving out of town but observe your surroundings critically. Think of anything that provokes any sort of emotion. Recollect all the feelings of excitement, anxiety, optimism, empowerment, freedom- and jot down all the emotions you feel. Get excited about your writing.
2. Describe and Respond. As you are writing down your emotions also write down the feelings that are attached to them. Be descriptive as possible because remember, you are trying to evoke a feeling out of the reader. Use words to personify the mountains you saw on your way to a ski trip or the street lamps you noticed while walking in a downtown area. Describe things that seem "normal" to the everyday person and make a story out of it. There is no correct or incorrect way of writing a poem, so just write what ever it is that comes to mind.
3. Begin writing. Connect all your thoughts together and make it flow. It could be difficult at first. Poems don't need to rhyme or make sense, they just need to make a statement or tell a story. Use unique and eloquent words if that is what you want your poem to sound like. Or use harsh words and a critical tone if that suits you better. Whatever is it you are writing about, believe it is great and the best out there, and it will be.
I tried a new experience today that was somewhat unsettling for me that you can try.
ReplyDelete1. Pick a night: You don't have to choose a specific night but any night where you find yourself awake after midnight will do. Just have any necessary running gear waiting for you by the door.
2. Go outside at this hour and try not to wake the neighbors. Just because you want to experience something new doesn't mean they do.
3. Take a jog through your neighborhood, at first through familiar territory. Remember what it was like during the day and try to feel the difference the night has on it. There are no people, except for perhaps a car or two. The local stray cats and vermin are the only other ones out that late.
4. Consider for a time how strange it is that because the sun has disappeared we decided to shut ourselves into our homes all at the same time, like an unspoken agreement.
5. Run through a new neighborhood, somewhere you don't often go to or have never been. Let that anxious insecurity flow through you as realize exactly why people don't normally move around like this at night. All of your senses are primed as you look and listen for anything amiss.
5. Push yourself further, deeper into unknown territory, see if your imagination gets the better of you. What will make you turn around first, your fear or exhaustion?
6. Realize you live in East Bakersfield and this was an absolutely terrible idea. Sprint home as fast as you can. Get some sleep and write your poem in the morning.
For this poem, you're going to need a good night's rest.
ReplyDeleteStep 1) Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep starting at midnight.
Step 2) Perform all normal tasks throughout the day, naps not included
Step 3) As night time comes, you may do your normal tasks before you go to
Step 4) Do not fall asleep. do whatever it takes to keep yourself awake.
Step 5) Daytime comes and you perform your normal tasks throughout the day. Naps not included. Jot down all the feelings, both physical and mental
Step 6) Midnight comes again, you may choose to take a 1-4 hour nap or not.
Step 7) Daytime comes again, so prepare yourself for a long day of performing your daily tasks.
Step 8) You can finish this off by going back to your regular schedule around 8 pm
Step 9) Write down all that you felt

How to Write Eco-Deviant Poetry:
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you need to make sure that you are well rested, rested enough that you had dreams the night before. People only have dreams when they've slept long enough according to my research. Replay these dreams throughout your head, throughout the morning when eating breakfast and getting ready for church. Now it is crucial that you share these dreams with a loved one whether or not it is appropiate. Honesty is a foundation to any healthy relationship, so you need to make sure you emphasize any details that you remember. I spoke to my boyfriend about my dream on our way to church. During our time at church, we recited the words like we do every Sundary, and I showed him the words out the books and taught him the gestures. After church was finished, we went to eat lunch and discussed what we did and did not understand in church. We also laughed about the people who were falling asleep in church, the babies who cried, and the old woman to our left who was texting throughout the service. Write your poem about the dream you experienced, the people you saw during church, and the food that you are eating for lunch. After you have finished writing out the poem, add a word in the beginning of each line to spell out some acronym in order to achieve some type of hidden meaning. Now name your poem that acronym.
1. Go outside and feel what you are about to do.

5. Enjoy the ride back and feel free to go fast now that you know where the speed traps are.
1. Go to a hip-hop dance party and scope out the competition.
ReplyDelete2. Enter a dance cypher and battle somebody you think you can smoke.

4. Pay your respects to the person you battled.
5. sit down, relax, and drink some water while listening to the rhythmic beats of the music.

Eco-deviant poem:
ReplyDeleteI literally just walked outside my door as I let my dogs out and was looking around watching them run around and enjoying themselves and then it hit me. Writing this poem wasn't that hard I just had to be outside and reminisce my past to get me going.As for the rhyming there was a specific structure one had to follow but for some reason there was a flow to my poem because all natural things rhyme with one another. Being outside actually helped me a lot(:

Set your morning alarm for 30 minutes earlier than you normally wake up. When it goes off the next day, and drags you up from the cozy inertia of sleep, you must immediately get out of bed and walk directly outside. Quickly, before you have the chance to orient yourself, find a spot in the sun and sit.
ReplyDeleteFor the next 30 minutes, simply wake up. Don't think about the warmth of the morning sun, or the smell of the grass, or the sounds of the birds, or the flowers around you opening in slow motion, or the dew staining your pajama pants, or the cold air turning your face pink. Begin the day with the rest of the world; as you approach lucidity, find yourself surrounded by an entire suburban ecosystem.
Go back inside and write it all down.
